Re: Fudge recipes?

Pretty sure you don't need the butter in there and that may actually give you a weird texture. And doing it in a sauce pan on low to medium heat might be better, less tendency to scorch. The microwave can be fine, but stirring once or twice is not enough - I'd do it in 30 second bursts, stirring in between each time.

If you want really sweet, maybe do half milk and half semi-sweet, or substitute in some white chocolate or butterscotch chips, instead of all semi-sweet.

But if you want to elaborate on why you found it nasty, that might give me a little more to work with. Too bitter? Wrong texture? Weird flavor? Did it taste burnt?

It did seem bitter and the texture seemed too thick. It was also kind of lumpy, but that may come from not stirring enough, though I did it a little more than the recipe indicated. Also some of the butter wouldn't stir in. If I don't need it that will help.

You can skip the butter. The chocolate may have seized and that might be the cause of the lumpiness - it can sort of clump up if it gets overheated or it comes into contact with water during the heating process (this may be because of the butter - some butters have a slightly higher water content than others). I would be careful with the heating, you can still microwave, but don't overheat it, you just need the chips mostly melted, then stirring and the residual heat will take care of the rest. Once you remove it from the heat, you can add some vanilla extract if you want (this enhances the chocolate flavor). Since you like it sweet, I would suggest substituting in a cup of sweeter chips for the semi-sweet.
